Seen in Queens, 9/11/05
A tubby, bubbly Hispanic girl that looked to be about 12 or 13, walking along with her equally vivacious companions. She was wearing a tight, white shirt, mercilessly stretched to fabric’s capacity, which made her look not unlike a walking tube of cookie dough. But I digress. On the front of said shirt in black Sharpie, as poorly written as it was conceived:
R.I.P.
Daddy

Now I’m hesitant to judge,* having never lost a loved one to tragedy, but I probably would have erred on the side of never, ever doing that. And I thought I had seen New York’s T-Shirt of the Week when I saw an almost comically endowed black woman in the subway walking by with a shirt that said in bright pink letters: I FAKE ORGASMS.
*Not at all true.

Yesterday I saw a black woman whose shirt said in giant letters “I AM BLACK.”
God, how I wanted it.
